How do I make an SVG background transparent?

Paste the SVG and click Make transparent. Solid full-bleed rectangles are removed so the preview checkerboard shows through.

Is transparency the same as deleting the background?

For SVG, yes in practice: removing the opaque plate leaves empty pixels transparent in browsers and PNG export.

Yes. Open the PNG tab after clearing the plate — the download keeps an alpha channel.

Open Remove White Background from SVG for a white-only filter.
